Emergency Landing Without Engine Power - Cub Crafters CC18-180 Pilot Operating Handbook

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.4.4 EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ENGINE
POWER
When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral
pattern around this field. Try to be at 1,000 feet above
the field at the downwind position, to make a normal
approach. Plan your approach for landing at the midpoint
of the runway; aim for the normal touchdown area only
after gliding to the runway is assured.
Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern,
using flaps or slipping, or by using a combination of these
techniques.
If possible, transmit a MAYDAY message on 121.5 MHz
stating location and intentions, and squawk 7700.
Activate the ELT.
Once the landing site is secure and you are committed to
land, apply flaps and reduce speed to 52 mph or 45 knots
(IAS). Close the throttle, move the mixture control to idle
cut-off, shut off the ignition switch, turn the fuel selector to
off and turn off master switch.
BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN MANEUVERING
FOR LANDING AT LOW ALTITUDES. MAINTAIN A
SAFE MARGIN ABOVE STALL SPEED. SEE FIGURE
5-2 FOR STALL SPEED VS. ANGLE OF BANK.
With the master switch off, the instrument, landing and
navigation lights will not operate.
